    This PAST draft? It DID suck….. and I spent a YEAR, not just a month.
    If you want to get excited about a draft, NOW is the time.
    But shit we got a champion level player, we’re good right?

    I think people really need to start asking themselves…what would Bill Walton think? Or the Dude?

    man, if Jabari can develop a consistent 3pt shot, he may be the power forward we need to start next to Deni and Ayton.
    I really like his game of hustle, rebounding, doing the little things.
    I think he might be my dark horse to pop into a solid role player, possible starter this season.

    Scoot/Sharpe/Deni/Walker/Ayton is a great balance and with the ability to swap Camara/Klingon/Rupert in to provide serious D off the bench, if we could get Ant to join them, he would get all the usage he nedds and be surrounded by guys who can defend.
    If Ant would just come off the bench, i think the balance of this roster is going to make us much better than many predict.
    Trade Grant for whatever we can get(within reason, not giving him away)by the trade deadline and im happy letting the roster ride out the season to see just what we have and if it fits on the court like it looks to fit on paper.

    Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place.

    True, but I'm pretty sure that ain't it. All kinds of wobbling going on and he kind of staggers forward as he launches it. Actually nobody there looks that great, but I guess they go in in practice.

    Do you know what his 3pt% was for last season?
    29.9%.
    But when we take a closer look, he improved almost every single month, except feb where he shot 7% and killed his overall percentage for the season. But every other month he improved. If you give feb season average 29.9%, he is a near mid 30’s% shooter already.
    He shot 35% aNd 38% in the last two months of the season.
    We just need him to be consistent 37-38 percent and i think he can hit that.
